Influenced by the twangy country of an older generation and the new age pop sound, Derek Astles has found his own original sound. Dubbing his unique music “folknrolln,” he’s been spreading the genre-bending love all up and down the east coast.

ARTIST BIO

"Derek 'FolknRolln' Astles, [is] a self-described 'hardcore' and 'folk rock' performer based in Asheville. There’s scant information on his MySpace page, but a quick web search reveals that Astles has quite a history as a cafe-circuit touring performer. His songs fall into a somewhat classic folk-oriented vein, but there’s quite a sense of insightful, pop-music savvy craft to his tunes. We suggest starting with the song The Half of You." .....MountainX Newspaper (Asheville, NC)  February 28, 2008
